I have been going to this church my entire life, so my review might be a tad biased. …read more Overall, this is a great church to be in, if you don't mind the huge size. (over 4,000 members) The Pastor is genuinely concerned with the spiritual growth of his members. There are too many ministries to name but the Youth ministry, Women's Ministry, College & Career Ministries are a few. Also, there is a Cell Group ministry. This is basically small group Bible studies during the week; this is in place to make sure that no one gets lost in the large crowd. Definitely a great place to go if you are concerned about your spiritual development and want to hear teaching from the Bible.

From there it was a match made in heaven. lol. Took classes to convert and become Catholic. The faith director Mr. Mueller is such a cool and inspirational person. I was blown away by his readings and translations of scriptures. Discussions with RCIA really gives you an understanding and respect for the religion. Loved that the church offers this class. Father Kaufman loves his religion and shows it in his readings on Sunday mass. He truly brings the community together and teaches us to love one another. This church and the community really opens its arm to all. When I was younger I didn't like going to church because church attendees made you feel weird when they stare at you. This church has the opposite effect. You can see the care and love people here have for their church and fellow members. I am now apart of this great church, St. Richard's.

I found this church by driving through the neighborhood one day. When I finally attended the…read morechurch I felt loved the very moment I stepped foot in the doors. They have greeters at the front door who are intentional about not just saying hi to you, but to get to know you, which is refreshing. That one greeter, Mark, won't let you slip by him, lol. One member of the church saw me sitting down in the atrium for a stint, and came up to me to ask me how I was, that she hadn't seen me before, and she intentionally sparked a convo with me. This was like my 3rd time going to the church, so I was truly amazed by her initiation. I have found that this church is about "relationship", which is what the Bible teaches. Speaking of the Bible, I have found that every sermon is biblically based and layered in truth, and humility. I attended the sermons they had on "The End Times", along with the series they are in now, which is "I love my church", and while I thought this last series would be corny, it actually was dead-on because the pastor took current events in our country to explain the contrast between what is happening in our world, and what the Bible teaches. While I have been new to going to this church, and haven't really settled here (yet), what I find interesting, is that all of the pastors seem to share the pulpit. Same with the music... it appears that there are several different teams. Additionally, I have really been enjoying that the services are only an hour long, there is racial diversity in both the leadership and the congregation, and there is freedom to experience God for yourself individually, as they turn off the lights during the praise and worship session. At the current moment, I really like going to this church. I am not a member of the church so I don't carry a bias view, but would recommend it because they preach from the Bible.

So he didn't listen to me and didn't make me feel good about having that talk with him. This church could also use more of a biblical foundation on things. For those looking for a solid church, this doesn't look like it.

Good and bad pairings:…read more 1) great location in Rittenhouse but that means occasionally a car alarm sounds during the service for fifteen minutes distracting you no matter how hard you try to concentrate 2) huge church with an equally large congregation which reflects that the church is pretty spiritually healthy-- but sadly you could get lost if you don't try to make friends 3) Senior Pastor just left to be dean at I think Wheaton College, so they're searching for a new pastor-- but the staff has been rocking the sermons while they do some hardco' searching ** interestingly, the church has a very active music group-- lots of different choirs, an orchestra, etc-- so that's really good. But they all play on the balcony in the back of the church so you can't see them. Which I guess is good because it allows you to focus on the words versus the people And a quick tip: I really like the night pastor who regularly preaches at 6:30p (Paul Tripp)-- He consistently gives good sermons and they're applicable to everyday life.
